Maison Mihara Yasuhiro Went Formal for Fall 2025
Observing a shift in fashion toward more formal silhouettes, Mihara Yasuhiro chose to put his singular trompe-l’oeil stamp on more tailored pieces this season, but seek ye not your formal office attire here. His suiting was worked in habitual distressed fashion, exaggerated proportions and a murky, muted color palette as he played with workwear tropes like ties, shirts and pin-striped fabrics, shifting from the more vintage aesthetic he has favored in recent collections.
“The approach is not focused only on the construction of the suits or the fashion meaning of tailoring, more about the broader significance of the fundamental acts; the sewing, construction and assembly of the fabrics,” he explained through an interpreter. “The way I express my creation I think is still the same.”

Formal pants were given a sideways slant, with double waists, one fitted, one loose and hanging to one side, doubling up as a pocket big enough for a crusty baguette to fit inside, as demonstrated on the runway. Striped shirting was padded into outsized outerwear or transposed as a chunky scarf complete with cuff details.
Such pieces intermingled with more typical Maison Mihara Yasuhiro tropes, with wide distressed and embellished cargo pants, jeans and joggers, some with shorts on top, and a diversity of layered slouchy outerwear and knits. He played with the proportions of bomber jackets and denims, a wide central panel in the back of several serving to widen and lower the shoulders. Embroidered varsity jackets cryptically read, “Don’t throw away your old shoes.”
Yet he made a contrary point with the footwear on the runway, from the debut of his sneaker collaboration with Autry to stiletto boots designed to look like handbags and mules with ice cream cone heels.
